My puppy got into a fire ant nest?

My puppy not only ate but got eaten by fire ants. She dug a hole in my backyard and tried to eat the ants but didnt’ succeed. They were attached to her gums around her teeth. I was told to give her benedryl but is there anything else I can do to help her?

look for signs of distress and reaction. fire ants are pretty toxic to humans but I have no idea what they can do to a dog, especialy a puppy. You should have her examined by a vet to make sure shes ok.

awwww, poor puppy. Benedryl should help, and only give her one – I would call the vet and ask how much to give a puppy though, to be safe.

I think the best course of action would be to take her to the vet.
